About me

Location	United States
Introduction	After many unsuccessful attempts with fertility treatments, Jason and I began to feel that just maybe adoption was God's plan for us. We have always been open to adoption and never viewed it as "second best".....just another option. After months of research on which agency was best for us, deciding on international adoption vs. domestic, and choosing a country, we decided to begin our journey with our adoption agency in June 2007. We were so excited to be adopting from Colombia! Since then, we have been through what they call the "paperwork pregnancy" which was a very chaotic process, but was well worth every minute spent on each and every document. We sent in our completed "Dossier"( the paperwork that is required in an international adoption) on November 5th, 2007. We then had to wait for our Dossier to be sent to the Colombian government to hear of an approval to be placed on a waiting list. Our guardian angels were watching over us on March 21st, 2008 because we heard about our four beautiful daughters (sisters), and couldn't wait to begin our life together!!! We hope you enjoy reading our blog about our journey and our happy, crazy moments as La Familia Baumgardner!
